Neal Gets Ten Years.-Thc trial o
George Neal, the negro accused Of commit
ting a felonious assault on Miss Jennie
GlOyd, near Gaithersburg, this county, on
the 9th Of May, 1886, took place here on
Thursday of last week, and drew to the
Court House quite crowd of spectators
The trial took place before the three Judges,
this being non,jury term.
Miss Gloyd was placed On the stand and
gave her testimony in manner that con-
WINGED all tina: she told the truth She said
that on the above day as she was returning
from scheel to her home, near Washing
ton Grove, the prisoner suddenly sprang
| from the bushes on the roadside, caught
hold of her, dragged her some distance into
the woods, and, despite her resistance, threw
head and body, and finally kicked her in
the breast, almost rendering her insensible.
He then tore large portion of the clothing
from her body and attempted to outrage her
person, but at that moment was frightened
away by the passage of train on the rail-
road a short distance away. She then made
her way home and related the circumstance
TO her mother as well as she could in her
nervous and daZed condition.
Her testimony was correbcrated by her
mother, who said that for two weeks after
the occurrence the girl appeared to be al
NEST crazed, and had not up to this time re-
gained full use of her hearing and other fac
ulties. Other witnesses testified to seeing
Neal in the immediate neighborhood about
the time of the occurrence.
AS soon as the facts became known, a
large crowd of citizens started in pursuit of
the miscreant, and among those taken into
custody was Neal. lie was carried before
the half.crazed girl, but she failed to recog-
nize him and he was turned loose, to be ar
rested next day as vagrant and sent to the
House of Correction, where two weeks af-
terward he was fully identified by Miss
Glsyd, and after the expiration of his term
was brought here for trial.
The hearing of the testimony occupied
several hours, during which the prisoner
sat in the dock unmoved and sometimes
even smiled, although he was surrounded
by those who would have been only too
glad TO rid the world Of him.
AT the conclusion of the testimony the
counsel declined to argue the case and in
few minutes Chef-Judge Richie announced
that the unanimous verdict of the Court was
that the prisoner was guilty. He was then
asked if he had anything to say and dog
gedlY replied "No.n After some remarks
upon the Nervousness Of the crime the Judge
sentenced Neal to the penitentary for ten
years, the full extent Of the law
The duty of defending the prisoner hav-
ing been assigned by the Court to Edw. G.
Peter, Esq, that disagreeable task was per-
formed by him in a manner worthy Of the
profession
On Friday morning Neal was taken by
Sheriff Miller to the penitentiary, and be-
fore entering that institution confessed that
he was guilty Of the crime, but that he had
failed in accomplishing his object on ac-
count Of being frightened away.
